[Comiston Hibee]

Not seen his name in the first two games. Is he injured?

Pity as he has to make first XI this season. Hopefully we will be fully compensated for this.

[GoalsMcGinley]

Heard it from a member of the staff at East Mains. Hibs not happy Scotland played him while injured.

Not the first time something like this had happened, shocking that some muppets in the national set up can just do that.

[Souter96Mac]

I'm a big advocate that the national team should be looking to develop players, rather than potentially inflicting injury to them. Porteous' fitness and development should be president over progressing in some youth tournament.

Worth a try. He doesn’t give much away.

It's a good point. I'd suggest however porteous would be desperate to play and the experience he would gain might merit playing through an injury.

And it's not exactly like it's uncommon. Clubs have done it for years...devil's advocate and all that.

Think this will be a big season for him. He's still very young so it's important not to heap too much pressure, he needs to be drip fed into the first team but I feel this season he will get a really big chance to prove how he can cope in the first team. He has players like Hanlon, McGreagor, Ambrose etc around him which will be really good for his learning IMO.

Very bright young prospect and hopefully over the next couple of years he will play an important role for us. Certainly one to get signed up long term as I imagine he will start to attract interest.

Hibs not happy with the SFA who played him while he had torn cartilage in two games at Toulon tournament.

Would a player play with a torn cartilage?

[porthibbie]

From Evening News

Porteous’ name has been included in the 25 submitted to UEFA for this stage of the Europa League and the Evening News understands he’ll be part of the squad which will travel to face Wick Academy at Harmsworth Park on Sunday to mark the Highland League outfit’s 125th anniversary. If he comes through that match, in which Hibs will field a side made up largely of their development squad, Porteous will be included in the party which will fly out to the Faroes.

[Brightside]

No. Never happened.

[weecounty hibby]

You can but it's ****ing sore. I played about half a season of rugby with knackered cartilage. Took handfuls of prescription only painkillers to train and play (more professional outfits may give injections!)and my knee is now in bits even after two operations. Replacement knee on the horizon for me in the future.

[Ozyhibby]

No. Never happened.

What never happened?

Lennon going nuts as the SFA never told him about Porteous injury, SFA release statement saying they told hibs and will release documents to the club to prove it.

Not sure this story covers ourselves in glory here.

(I’m not suggesting it’ll cause Lennon to quit or anything like that before anyone flies off the handle)

Do you have a link for the SFA statement?

From BBC site, can’t get the link to work

The SFA insists Hibs were kept fully informed over Porteous.

"It goes without saying that we want to return every player who represents Scotland back to their club in the best possible condition," said a spokesperson.

"We employ very experienced medical staff who provide the highest level of care to the players to the standards expected by their profession and the medical bodies. Importantly, we only select players who we feel are fit to play.

"It wouldn't be right for us to divulge any personal medical information about Ryan, or indeed any other player. But we can say that in this instance, we were in contact with Hibernian continuously throughout, and after, the tournament via our medical team and their counterparts at the club. This is standard practice at international level.

"All of our medical notes and information have been shared with the club and we will continue our dialogue with them directly in relation to Ryan and any other Hibernian players who are on Scotland duty in the future."

Doesn't matter if he did, if they knee he was injured then he should not have been played.

Lennon confirms Ryan was played with a tear in his cartilage in his HibsTV interview from earlier today;

He's in Barcelona teaching big Pique how to score headers...

I had a similar injury and never considered playing.
Hell it was painful enough turning over in bed in the month after causing it!

I tore mine and got the torn piece removed with keyhole surgery. Was told not to kick a ball for about a month or so, iirc.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Is there any action we can take against the SFA?

They say they have proof they told the Hibs medical team and happy to share the documents with the club.

Sounds to me like Lennons beef should be with the medical staff not informing him rather than the SFA.
